I'm interested in playing around with the Parrot VM, but all the tutorials (and many of the docs) seem out-of-date. There there any up-to-date tutorials out there in the interwebs?

There is some HERE

You can read the developer's mailing list HERE

There are many documentation links HERE

If your ultimate reason to play with Parrot is Perl 6, the in process book is pretty good HERE

Accepting this answer, but, wow, the Perl world is really behind on their docs...

There's a whole lot of possibilities that fit in the range of "playing around with the Parrot VM." drewk's links should show you - well, everything.

I'd like to mention my own Parrot Babysteps tutorial if you're mainly interested in installing Parrot and getting started with the Parrot Intermediate Representation (PIR). It's aimed at beginners, but is kept up-to-date with the latest supported Parrot release. The example code is kept in a Github repository and tested against the freshest Parrot I have installed. The code and content is updated as needed.
